Similar to the change in #11102 I think the proper thing to do is to make GHC say that `JavaScriptFFI` is not supported. Cabal 1.24 can then use this information in dependency resolution. GHCJS would then just add this to the list by itself, since it has its own front end. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11214> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#9494: Probable data corruption with GHCi 7.8.* and Zlib -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nominolo | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 7.8.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Incorrect Blocked By: | result at runtime Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The following program causes Zlib data corruption errors when run from inside GHCi. It launches two threads which then concurrently read a file, compress it, and immediately decompress it. You need libraries `zlib`, `SHA`, and `async`. {{{ module Main where import qualified Codec.Compression.Zlib as Zlib import qualified Data.ByteString.Lazy as BL import qualified Data.ByteString.Internal as BI import Control.Exception (bracket) import Control.Concurrent import Control.Monad import Control.Exception ( evaluate) import Data.Digest.Pure.SHA ( sha1) -- from the 'SHA' package import Control.Concurrent.Async ( mapConcurrently) import System.Mem ( performGC ) import Debug.Trace test :: Int -> IO String test _ = do tid <- myThreadId -- testdata is: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/testdata bs=100k count=100 -- Could also be replaced by: (BL.take (10^7) "/dev/urandom") dat <- BL.readFile "/tmp/testdata" let cbuf = Zlib.compress $ traceChunks tid $ dat s <- evaluate $ sha1 $ Zlib.decompress $ cbuf return $ show s where -- We used this to check whether buffers were reused by different threads, but that -- doesn't seem to be the case. Removing the call to traceChunks, however, makes it -- harder to reproduce possibly because of scheduler effects. In a much larger program -- it could be reproduced more easily without the trace, but in this small example -- tracing seems to cause the right amount of nondeterminism. traceChunks tid bs = BL.fromChunks $ zipWith (\n x -> trace (show tid ++ ":" ++ showBS x) x) [1..] $ BL.toChunks bs showBS (BI.PS ptr off len) = show ptr main = do r <- withGCThread $ mapConcurrently (test) ([1..2] :: [Int]) putStrLn $ show $ r where -- Regularly forcing the GC makes the test-case more reproducible. withGCThread io = bracket (forkIO $ forever $ performGC >> threadDelay 1000) killThread (const io) }}} The output should be something like: {{{ ... ThreadId 51:0x00000001091ee010 ThreadId 49:0x00000001091a7010 ... ThreadId 49:0x000000010986f010 zlib-test-case.hs: user error (Codec.Compression.Zlib: incorrect data check) }}} You'll get different Zlib errors, depending on where it detects the inconsistency. Sometimes Zlib doesn't throw an error, but the checksums are different. So far we've only been able to reproduce this using GHCi 7.8.3 on both Linux (NixOS) and Mac. We haven't been able to trigger it with a compiled executable, nor with GHCi 7.6.3. It '''was''' reproducable with HEAD from Jan 30 (I had that lying around somewhere). -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9494> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
